She's Fine
Rosella had no choice but to eat the porridge. She knew she was too weak for now and her health is her top priority.
She was fed carefully by Lucas but her tears started to fall down. She was foolish. Too foolish to think that Stephanie and Gideon will halt their actions because of what she did.
What she did was just perfect for their plans and the kingdom that her parents left to her was taken from her without any fight.
She chose to give up and this only meant victory for them.
Lucas was helpless upon seeing her tears.
"Don't cry.You look ugly." Lucas said mercilessly. He didn't like to see her crying. It hurts to see her crying. He tried to wipe her tears away but this only led to a river of tears. Her tears were hot and it scalded his heart even more.
Those two will pay for what they did to this woman and to his late best friend.
After hearing those words, her tears fell even more. Lucas removed the small table to avoid the porridge from spilling. It is still hot and it might scald her.
He suddenly hugged her, or more or less shoved her towards his buff chest.
This pained Rosella even more. The tears that was about to stop flowed again non-stop.
After some time, Rosella felt stuffy being pushed towards Lucas' buff chest. She couldn't breath properly and she felt uncomfortable. She tried to struggle but she couldn't muster any strength. She tried to pinch his waist but only to find that this man is buff from head to toe. No fats at all.
"Umpf!!!" His strength is great and she is already weak from crying and the lack of food.
"If you continue to hug her, she might die." a raspy voice broke all the various emotions between them. This woke Lucas up and removed Rosella from his chest.
Rosella heaved a sigh of relief and hiccuped.
Lucas made way for Jonas and stood aside.
Jonas shook his head as he walked towards the bed. He dragged the stool and sat with it. He held his stethoscope. Her heartbeat was erratic and she had a rapid breathing.
"It's Jonas Wu, your doctor." Lucas introduced them shortly. He didn't like that Rosella has too many male acquaintances even though these men were his life buddies.
Jonas raised an eye brow. Marking his territory so early? Hehe. Jonas had an interesting glint on his eyes.
"She's fine, she just needs to undergo some tests to ensure that she is really fine." Jonas' raspy voice rang once again.
"Okay. Make arrangements at the hospital." Lucas didn't mind ordering him around.
"Got it. I will call you when the hospital is ready." Jonas tidied up his things.
He shook his head and walked out from the room. This old bachelor is going to bloom and it is time to gather their friends to gossip about it.
"Eat." Lucas brought back the porridge. It was not so hot and just right for her to eat.
Rosella ate while Lucas' feeding her. After, she drank all her existing medication because Lucas is about to flare up.
She hated the bitter taste. Everything bitter is her enemy, including the medicine.
She wanted to create a ruckus but upon seeing the gloomy face of a certain young master, she held it back.
"Do you have candy?" Rosella asked after drinking the last capsule.
Lucas shot her a deadly glance. He wordlessly walked out from the room and closed the door with a loud bang.
The certain young master is definitely angry, but what could she do? She really didn't like the bitter taste of medicine.
She sighed and the sadness she had been feeling from the moment she woke up resurfaced.
She sobbed slightly. Her shoulders trembled and the self-reproach she had was great.
The overwhelming guilt she felt is like a knife that continued to stab her endlessly.
Why was she so foolish?
She should contact the remaining force her father told her to.
The Mo Clan.
A large family of business moguls. They held a great influence in the business circle and her late father told her that they will help them unconditionally when she asks them.
But she didn't know where to find the head of Mo Clan.
The late master of the elusive clan passed away and he passed his authority to his youngest son and she didn't know him.
The closed door opened once again and Lucas had a bag of milk candies on his hands. He tossed the bag towards her unceremoniously.
After, he walked out again and when he came back he was carrying a small basin of luke warm water with soft towel.
Rosella was stunned upon seeing this young master doing a menial job like this.
"Don't you have helpers around here?" she asked but Lucas acted as if he didn't hear any of her question.
She pouted and refused to let the man wash her face. This gave the man another point to be angry.
He used her eyes to warn her. He really don't have the energy to scold this princess anymore.
